The file is approx 30mb, and it usually takes about 3-7 minutes on a normal download. But, for some reason, when I try to download files, they just hang. After maybe 7 or 8 seconds, it just says "Done" and the file that is supposedly done downloading is a whopping 25kb (remember, it's actually 30mb) I have tried using a wireless connection, my other computer and another web browser (Internet Explorer and Firefox) and even turning off my firewall to no avail. Here is a link to a random file that will not work: http://www.mediafire.com/?bdnyd3duhrc If the file does start to download, it has a download speed of maybe 1.0kbps with a 24-30 hour download time...then it does nothing. Does it do the same for you guys? If not, what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance everyone! :D
